What is said at the end is the truth

very insightful poem with beautifully selected words, nice to read.

Part - 2 the questions and died on thirst. Yudhistira could answer the mysterious questions and came out from puzzle and save the lives of his brothers. Dear Bharati madam, you have so wisely shared this poem here with a nice story from Mahabharata. So interesting that I have made second visit to this poem. Thanks again. Throws questions

Part - 1 Like the' YAKSHA' of' Mahabharat' We always ask ourselves Some we find answer Others remain mysteries And we die of thirst......nice example in favor of puzzle in life. Except Yudhistira all his four brothers didn't answer

Others remain mysteries! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Struck in these Questions too myself..! reminds me a piece of History if.. On his Death Bed Einstein said to his friend/Visitor.. all my life I tried to find the ultimate truth..but never realized that it was lying 10 feet away from my Bed always.. the books Bhgavadgita and Mahabharatha! ! !

I believe, the poet is teasing the readers. Behind Yaksha and Mahabharat, she deftly hides the Tadhagat, Sri Buddha, to who the poem truly alludes. Great work. Insightful.

many questions remain unanswered even after death....thats why life is a mystery.....

Your last three lines succinctly express the human condition. Unless we take refuge in some revealed religion, life is a puzzle and we are thrown into a universe we cannot possibly comprehend. What I love about poetry is that it doesn't try to comprehend the whole but rather seeks to appreciate and find fulfillment in immediate things we can fully embrace. Like the sun in your poem, or the parrot in another. Or a great work of literature like the Mahabharata or my favorite, that most ancient work of human imagination - GILGAMESH. These works and the poems we are writing now are indeed what quench our thirst for meaning and belonging.

The answers to the most profound questions in life are as straight as a jalebi perhaps.. We spend a lifetime within a puzzle, a labyrinthe of questions that haunt us at day and late in night... Always willing to escape this labyrinthe.. But maybe it's better to just accept it.. Icarus tried the GREAT ESCAPE with his GREAT EXPECTATIONS only to die... Thank you Bharti.. A thought provoking poem that posed a question rather than answers (depending on interpretations of course) ...

Thanks to all the great minds who have shared their valuable opinions on the poem.

Yudhistira could answer all the many questions of the Yaksha, but has a doubt regarding its real nature.. Then, the Yaksha reveals himself to be Yama-Dharma, the god of death, Yudhistira's father... :) - Indeed, your poem is a source of pleasure, Bharati.. Thanks for sharing Cheers

Puzzles are always visit our age in many forms...it play with mind and emotions, sure it does...but as it visit us by moving time, time may also offers the answer in some other day too...till then we are restless to know what it is :) its nice work Bharati...it provokes my mind

Life is full of puzzles- Some are solved and some remain as complicated till the end. Nice drop.10+++

Fantastic expression on Puzzle questions after questions out of many are unsolved. thanks for sharing.....10

So many questions in life remain unanswered.. Why did the poetess leave in such hurry.. Wish it was answered..

And this puzzle is on till we take last breath, many questions are unanswered and dreams are unfulfilled and many areas remain unexplored, A thought provoking poem...10++

Life itself is the most simple as well as most intricate and intriguing puzzle. Many sears had performed even life long penance to understand it fully. Some got answers to sizable number of questions and by explaining life they became Mahatmas in the eyes of others. As far as common man, he is often intrigued by motley puzzles presented by life in long run and he surrenders to some divine //spiritual form to seek respite. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
